Don’t be a turkey and go to the mall on Black Friday. Instead, tuck into those Thanksgiving leftovers while taking a trip across the Web to book some tempting travel deals. And, Cyber Monday (Nov. 27) is an even bigger day for snagging online discounts, so while you’re polishing off that turkey tetrazzini, go online to secure discounts to distant warm weather places like Mexico and the Caribbean, or maybe a ski vacay, or a staycation in Boston or Vermont. Some of the savings are significant, 50 percent and more, and there are also added perks like spa treatments and puppies, too. Remember to read the fine print when you book the deals — restrictions might include blackout dates, minimum stays, nonrefundable bookings, added taxes and fees, and paid-in-full requirements. Here’s a sampling of some of the enticing deals to gobble up.
